It had been three hours since Kaito's plane landed and quickly meeting up with Rina and Hannon in the New York airport. They had gone to the hotel that Lucia was staying at and asked the clerk what room Lucia Nanami was staying in. They were disappointed when she sold them that she had checked out.
"I'm terribly sorry, but she checked out yesterday." The clerk said politely. "She was very nice and even had a boy help her with her bags. They met up with some other kids outside and took off to the right."
Kaito thanked her and they quickly exit the building.
Hannon sighs "Now what do we do?"
Rina stops, "Why don't we just call her." Kaito suddenly spun around and looked at Rina, eyes lit.
"You mean I could have called her sooner?!"
"I didn't think about it then." She then proceeded to take out her phone and speed dialed Lucia's number. The phone rang three times before someone picked up on the other line. "Lucia where are you?" She asks/demands, Kaito and Hannon were staring in anticipation, waiting for Rina to tell them where the pink pearl Princess was. "N-NANI?! Lucia… hai, then stay right where you are, were on our way." She hung up her phone and looked at her companions, grey eyes had become serious. "We need to get to the airport now."
"What did she say? Where is she?" They both ask at the same time.
"Lucia's back home in Japan, and she said that she wants to introduce us to some new friends of hers."
Kaito's instincts instantly switched to worry mode "Let's get going."
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
-Back in Japan-
Lucia was having a blast with her brother and his friends. She loved how she could go swimming and not have to worry about keeping her secret… well, a secret.
That you had just gotten off the phone with her best friend Rina and was excited yet terrified to what she Hannon and Kaito would think about her brother and his friends.
Worry overcame Lucia when Percy's cousin, Thalia, came up to her. "Hey fish scales, what's wrong."
"My boyfriend and my friends are coming back home, what if they don't like you guys." A sudden horror struck through her facial features "What if none of you like them!" she began to panic when Thals grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her out of it.
"Don't make me shock you like I do to kelp head over there." She said sternly. Just to back up her threat, sparks started dancing around her hands.
Lucia's eyes widened. "I'm Sorry, I-"
"Hey it's cool." Thalia interrupts "Just don't go over thinking things, everything will be alright. You'll see. You and your friends will become the best of friends with us… maybe except for Clarisse, but who knows. She lasted this long without trying to beat someone up, so anything could happen." She said with a smile. Lucia smiles two and together they both made they're way over to see that the rest of the group was up to.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
The next day Lucia woke with a start. She had a feeling something bad was going to happen. Although it didn't help that Sierra had appeared in her dreams, saying it was time for her birth.
Quickly getting dressed she head down into the kitchen and grabs an apple before joining the others out on the patio. "Good morning everyone!" she says happily. They turn around to respond until a loud roar sounded off close by.
Percy groans "Not another one."
"Come on Kelp head, let's go kill it and get it over with." Nico said and they both forced themselves up.
"Try not to get yourselves killed guys. We still have a quest to finish." Said Annabeth. Percy flashes her a smile and they take off down the beach.
"Aren't you worried about them?" Lucia asks, a little worried herself.
"Nah, they're the best sword fighters at camp, they can handle a couple of monsters easily." Said Annabeth.
"Yeah, everyone has an ability of some sort when it comes to fighting." Will Explains "Myself for instance. My father is Apollo, God of Archery, song, medicine and the sun. I've inherited his looks, his skill with a bow and arrow, and I'm a pretty good healer." He said, then quickly adds "I'm not very good in the singing category though, not like my other siblings."
Clarisse rolled her eyes. "Enough about you, it's my turn." She then begins to explain her traits too. "Since I'm the daughter of Ares, god of war, I inherited his temper –Don't even say it Chase- and his lust for a good battle." Then adds "I'm very talented with a spear."
"I inherited my mother's wisdom, like all children of Athena, as well as being a great strategist and I love architecture." Annabeth said to the young mermaid. "I'm also very dangerous with a knife."
Thalia was next "Daughter of Zeus, inherited his ability of lighting, now am the head lutienant (sp?) of Artemis, Goddess of the moon and hunt and am now stuck being Fifteen unless I die in combat." She said grumpily.
Annabeth quickly came to the rescue before anything else bad was said. "Nico is son of Hades so he is good with shadows and raising the dead to help in battle. Percy is Son of Poseidon and can control the water like his father."
"That's good to know, so why do you all look so tired?" Lucia couldn't help but notice that, during their explanation, they barely even moved around.
"Ugh, having all three of the big three's children in one place was seriously a bad idea." Was Clarisse's reply.
"We barely got any sleep last night because of all the monster attacks." Said Will. Annabeth noticed the confusion written all over Lucia's face and explained about how the monsters are attracted to a demigod's smell.
"The more demigod's in one place, or the stronger scent they have, the higher the risk of a monster attack." She put it simply.
"…oh…" was all she could say.
Soon after, Percy and Nico arrived back victorious. "Glad your ok." Annabeth said, smiling.
Percy looked up, exaughsted "'twas no sweat." Was all he said before literally passing out on one of the beach chairs.
"Seaweed Brain." Annabeth sighs.
The rest of the day was spent down at the beach or in town shopping –much to Clarisse and Thalia's protests- around and just normal teenage things.
Everything was going normal…
"Hey Lucia, why is your pocket glowing… orange?"
"What?!" she looks down. Sure enough her pocket was glowing orange. "S-Sierra." She grabs the pearl kept in her pocket and pulls out.
"What is that?" Everyone was now staring at the pearl in her hand. "Lucia?" Percy puts a hand on her shoulder to try and get her attention.
Lucia looked like she was in a trance. She stares at the pearl before suddenly getting up and runs out of the restaurant.
"W-wait, where are you going!?" Percy quickly runs after her, with the others not far behind.
*At the beach*
Once at the beach Lucia makes sure it's all clear before she dives into the sea. The pearl started glowing even brighter as Lucia began her journey to the Indian Ocean.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Now I know it's not very good, but I couldn't think of anything else for it. But I'm finally glad it is starting to take form through the prophecy I put up there. Next chapter will have Lucia reuniting with Hannon Rina and Kaito X)
